The original screaming terror had some interesting uses. It was a 100% memory wipe. So if you used your pet to beat something down to 1% life and didn't want to lose the exp you could use ST while backing the pet off. nuke the little remaining hit points and then get full exp.
But here's where it was amazingly abusive. You could use it to kill steal raid mobs with tens of thousands of hit points. Even if the mob was immune to fear they'd still get the mem wipe.
now imagine two guilds fighting over cazic thule, dracolich etc. one knows the trick, one doesn't. who's getting the pixels?
